Had spicy beef enchiladas. They looked and tasted like they bought a big bag at Costcos and deep fried them. They were about half full. The prices were low, but you got what you paid for read more

I visit this place on my yearly Puerto Rico trips multiple times, each trip. It's absolutely delicious and the prices could not be better. You'll be absolutely stuffed no matter what you get and spend less than $10 a person. The people are super nice too and there's even a little spot to sit by the stand while you wait for your food or eat! Absolutely recommend this place to everyone. read more

Empanadas were hot & fresh worth the price for a big empanada they sell out fast so get there early

Hidden Gem!!! This spot on the side of the road was exactly what I needed for a pastelito fix! A quick snack or lunch is this place's specialty. Buen provecho! read more

Delicious! And super affordable! Super cute little stand on the side of the road. It's easy to miss but definitely worth it. They have a couple of small tables to sit at as well. read more

Small little shack to quickly grab some empanadas! So good and the price you can't beat. We got 3 empanadas and the most delicious guanabana juice ever for only 6 dollars!! read more

Situated on the side of the road on the way to Isabela and Jobo Beach. When I saw the line, each day we knew it would be good. I have to say that these are the best Empanadas I've had outside of Colombia. Trust me when I say that i try Empanadas anywhere it's said are good! I ordered 2 carne and 2 pollo. Both was outstanding but the chicken was my favorite! We arrived at 7:30am and there wasn't too much of a line. Even if there was, I'd wait in the line for it. read more

Great food and service. Potato ball was so good. Empanadas were cooked perfectly. Parking is a bit scary.

The cheapest and the best snack on the island! We stopped twice, tried the shrimp, beef and potato ball. The shrimp empanada was by far the winner. The best thing the price! Each pie is 2 bucks and so delicious read more

Great price and made fresh however a bit dangerous to park, I was not to impress with the taste of the empanadas had way to much potato in them. The dough was thick and the meat was not seasoned for my taste. read more

Stopped real quick and this place is amazing. I must say the seafood mix was so delicious and so much flavor. I will be stopping again tomorrow for sure. Actually I'm running back right now. read more

You'll pass by this place real quick if you're paying attention to the narrow road lol. I love this little unhealthy gem of a place. All kinds of empanadas and they all taste really good. Yesterday, we ordered I beef, spicy chicken, seafood mix and a corn meal & cheese. We also ordered two little cups of Parcha (Passion fruit) juice. All for 7 bucks. ATTENTION TOURISTS: Do not pass this place up. Sometimes the line can get long but it'll go by fast. It seems like all the locals come here for something fast. Just park on the side of the road, grab a empanada and then go. Sometimes, there can be Bees out near the seating area and bird poop on the table to watch where you sit! read more

See all

Luego de escuchar en varios foros sobre este lugar, aprovecha mi estadía en el area de Isabela y tuve que ir a probar, mi primera impresión fue de deserción con el local, un food truck esta mejor presentado que un chinchorro que de vende tanto, no tenían la variedad disponible al momento que fui, solo me puede comer un pastelillos de pollo, muy bueno, pero para mi sorpresa el de pescado está horrible, terminar vomitando frente al local de lo mal que me calló, y cono decía mi abuela para muestra con un boto basta , simplemente no vuelvo, gracias. read more

Me and my wife have been coming here for years. It's a great place to grab a quick bite and it's super cheap. It does get packed so there is a bit of wait but it's well worth it! read more

Definite hole in the wall place with no signs, but you can tell by the line of people outside where it is. We had some chicken and fish arepas. Five for $6.25 so you can't beat the price. Friendly service. Maybe I am not into deep fried food but it was real greasy. read more

Barely anything inside the empanada. Way better in other spots. Don't waste your time.

Park on the side of the road. It's a popular spot. The roof was replaced after the hurricane.

Exactly what you hope to get from a roadside empanada shack. Wonderful, cheap empanadas and potato balls. We went back several days for lunch. read more

It is roadside food at its best and worst. It is not great food, but what makes me a fan is that it is cheap. Other places are much better, but this is there and easy and now. It tastes pretty good, especially if you are hungry. The empanadillas have more sauce than meat inside, but for the price you can't really complain. read more

Like Yogi Berra used to say, when you come to a curve in the road, take it - this classic roadside joint is too easy to miss; no sign out front. There will be cars parked on both sides of the road. Essentially, a choice of empanadas or potato balls. Assorted fillings. A couple of outdoor tables and life is good. The empanadas have flaky dough and very good fillings. I was not impressed by the potato balls. The place always seems busy. Cheap, good food. read more

Best food I had in PR. If you get stuck of customer service then go somewhere else. However, if you just want some awesome food at a great price then look no further. My first time here I got some fish tacos (which lacked flavor and moisture), and a spicy chicken taco which was the best food I had on the island. The second time I went here I ordered some spicy and regular chicken tacos and was told it would take 5 mins to make. 25 mins later we received the food (right out of the frier). The food was inconsistent in how much filling and meat was in each "taco" but for the price, no one can complain. read more

A must try spot!! Delicious, cheap, big portion, and fresh food. Every filling imaginable - octopus, mixed seafood, pizza, chicken, crab, conch...etc. One of the beat food stands there is. read more

Great stop for a quick lunch bite. Super cheap and tasted great! Will definitely be back on our next surf trip.

No wonder why there are always lineup for this place this is the cheapest food and the best quality for the price you will get around Playa Jobos. You can get a full meal for under 3 dollars. read more

The service was good,they attended us politely but the food wasn't the best.For me the potato balls were really good but the empanadas were mushy and a type of paste. Other than that the atmosphere and service were good read more

I travel for work and always try to eat like a local whenever I can. This place was recommended here on Yelp and I 100% agree that it is absolutely fantastic! It's literally the empanadas jackpot. I got several kinds to try: fish, crab, conch, spicy chicken, spicy beef, green banana with beef, and a fried potato ball stuffed with chicken. And all of that cost me $12 and some change! Fried potato ball was recommended by the guy at the counter and it was my favorite. My dad ate the seafood ones so I can't really comment on those except that he said they were good. Definitely preferred the spicy beef to the spicy chicken though. I'm here for 4 days and I'm so glad because I think I have found my spot! read more

The best empanadas I've had in Puerto Rico by far!! They're very cheap and SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! I highly recommend to everyone. they also have a great variety of FRESHLY MADE empanadas! Give it a try! read more

Love it! I had a pulpo and pizza empanada! In my way to the beach , a quick stop. Really cheap. I had an orange juice but wasnt natural, was good tho. read more

Really great fried food. All freshly fried since the place is so busy. Only a few things you will have to wait for and they tell you what they are. Great to grab on your way to playa Jobos. Great prices and food. read more

The empanadas here are to die for. They have chicken, beef, or shrimp. Shrimp is a little on the weird side- so chicken and beef is the way to go! It is a little stand on the side of the street with a few outdoor tables. The owners are quite nice and friendly! I highly recommend this to everybody-- BEST EMAPANADAS AROUND. read more

Every once in a while Yelp leads me astray. This is one of those times. Ordered some empanadas of chicken and some with beef.......both fillings were a paste like blob. I was so disappointed especially after the huge crowd that was here made me think I found a gold mine. No gold here!! The prices are super cheap but even that won't bring me back here again. read more

Prepare for a magnificent taste of latin American cuisine. The variety of empanadas is astounding. They come in regular and spicy variations. The place is always packed because the food is on point. Whole you are eating you can also watch iguanas dine on local aviary in the trees across the street. I recommend the Taco de Pollo y Fanta combo for the ultimate Caribbean Roadside Dining Experience. read more
